Extech Instruments offers the compact Extech i5 IR camera for accurate thermal imaging and focus-free viewing. At 12 oz, the i5 monitors and detects the thermal condition of electrical system components to address problems before failures occur and can inspect hard-to-reach areas, while the high-resolution thermal images pinpoint problems. Users can check for overheating in electrical panels and transformers, and can identify faults in cooling and heating systems, as well as problems with motors, fans, and bearings. Features include accuracy of 2%, thermal sensitivity of 0.18°F, minimal user fatigue, rugged design, focus-free lens, and a 2.8-in color LCD. Standard options include a 512-MB 5000 image card with adaptor, Li-ion rechargeable battery with 100 to 240-V ac adaptor, and PC software.

With the integration of the 1803 engine into the platform, Kevin Westfall, Director of Unmanned Systems at Lockheed Martin, says that engineering ground tests performed by the company indicate that Fury will be able to stay in the air for 15 continuous hours based on analyzing fuel burn rates
